FESTIVAL 2023 has REOPENED! The Oakville Labour Dispute has been resolved. We run until Dec. 17th.



This strike has nothing to do with us. The Oakville facility workers are on strike due to an ongoing labour dispute which has temporarily shut down all community centres in the town. We hope to reopen soon. Please subscibe for updates. We will reopen as soon as the strike ends. We support workers and unions. The festival is supposed to run until Dec. 17.
